re: Don't wish death on anyone, but the reality is Bobby Knight was a dirt bag!

fricking pussies, it's amazing how many people in sports journalism are completely retarded when it comes to Bobby Knight. Heard a morning sports show host in K.C. give the same kind of take as the OP. He claimed Knight never won anything after the 1970s. Knight won two national championships and an Olympic gold medal in the 80s alone.
His job wasn't to hold the hand of everyone who played for him. His job was to prepare those players for life after college, basketball or no basketball. He understood life kicks you in the balls quite often and to be successful you have to be able to take those kicks and get back up. No one makes any kind of life for themselves by going fetal after every moment of adversity. I've got two words for every person who thinks Knight was a heartless bastard--Landon Turner. Do some research into everything Bob Knight did for him after his automobile accident that left him paralzed.

He was a complicated man with a lot of stories out there both pro and con. One that hasn't been mentioned is that Larry Bird signed with Indiana and two weeks later quit to go home and drive a garbage truck in French Lick. Bird wasn't exactly a shrinking violet.
